whats a good P/T Job?

[podes]

I run my own tennis company, but with the recession this year, things are abit slower...so im only "on court" like 2-3 hours a day...

For the life of me I can't think of a part time job that would fit my needs...i think i would be overqualified for lots of stuff and they wouldnt consider me based on that fact i graduated magna cum laude from London School of Economics/Washington and Lee in Va (degree in Business Admin, concentration in finance), minor Latin american history...I've worked roughly two years as a healthcare strategy consultant for a top firm before I switched careers...I remember applying for "mall jobs" back in colllege and I didn't get one offer, not even an interview.

any suggestions? is a temp agency the way to go? know any firm/company in NNJ (essex county) that is hiring for something?...anybody been in a similiar position?

Magna cum Laude form the London school of Business and you are asking for career advice on a clubbing message board ?

[ERR]

yeah this has got to be one of the most backwards career scenarios i have ever heard of.

good ideas come from different places and people...

obviously i know how to get a F/T job in finance, but thats not what im looking for..

it seems that you can actually find a full time job, and do the tennis thing as your part time job no?

not so simple, cause in the spring-fall, tennis is above a 40 hour a week job..and i love it, ive never been happier.....i dont want a F/T job, i did the whole corporate thing, and was miserable, i was just looking to pick up 15-25 hours a week doing "something" for a few months...i guess some type of office job, but i posted here, cause i thought people might have outside the box suggestions..

I got it now, I was wondering how much these lessons were if you only worked 2-3 hours a day.

retail? tutoring?

yeah retail, i never even got an interview back in college, so i doubt i will get one now...

tutoring, actually didnt think of that...i will look into it..good job!

I got it now, I was wondering how much these lessons were if you only worked 2-3 hours a day.

in the winter, its $95/hr...$45 goes to me (paid 10 lessons in advance)---and $50 goes to court rental, which is paid day of lesson.

In the spring-fall, i charge between $40-$60/hr (depending on location,ability of clients, # of lessons booked), teach approx 5 hours a day, 7 days a week (all cash business)...


i had alot of commitments for indoor lessons, but then after doing it once and realize the cost in actuality, they rather just take off the winter and resume mid package in the spring. The only people who play indoors are promising kids and adults who LOVE tennis

[Old Fart]

do the indoor courts stay booked up? Wonder if they charged less if they would be booked more

the court fees vary between 35-55 depending on day/time/club...

well its split between contract and open time...contract time you commit to 33 weeks of court time (like $1,300) and you are guaranteed the court same day/time each week..and open time you pay more, but you can book it as you please, if its open. Plus there are clinics,tournaments,etc. Its actually pretty hard to get court time. I have verbal agreements with 3 clubs to hold time for me each week...
